POCO just dropped its newest M-series phone globally, and the POCO M8 Pro 5G looks like a sweet deal. It’s got better specs than the regular M8, including a Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chip and a beautiful 1.5K AMOLED screen. If you’re hunting for a phone in Nepal that won’t burn a hole in your pocket but still works great, this one’s worth checking out. Here’s what you need to know about it.
Display & Design
The M8 Pro 5G looks a lot like recent Redmi phones—curved edges and a thin 8.31mm body. You get good protection with IP68 and IP69 ratings, so dust or water won’t mess it up. The 6.83-inch AMOLED screen looks really crisp with 1.5K resolution and runs buttery smooth at 120Hz. Brightness maxes out at 3200 nits, so you can easily see it in bright sunlight. There’s also HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protecting the screen from scratches.
Performance
The Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chip runs everything here, made using a 4nm process that stays pretty cool. Inside, you’ve got several Kryo cores handling tasks, while an Adreno 810 GPU runs your games. You can pick between 8GB or 12GB RAM, paired with either 256GB or 512GB storage. The phone runs HyperOS 2 on top of Android 15, which feels quick and lets you tweak things however you want.
Camera
POCO went with just two cameras on the back—nothing crazy. There’s a 50MP main camera with OIS that keeps shots steady, plus an 8MP ultrawide for bigger scenes. The Light Fusion 800 sensor takes good photos whether it’s bright or dark out. Up front, the 32MP camera works great for selfies and video chats. It’s straightforward, but that’s not a bad thing.
Battery
The 6500mAh battery might be the phone’s best feature—it keeps going all day no matter how much you use it. When you need to charge, the 100W fast charging fills it back up crazy fast. There’s even 22.5W reverse charging for topping up your earbuds or other gadgets. You get 5G, WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, and a USB-C port for everything else you need.
